. ...... ~ ~" 4. Economic Development - Commercial, office and industrial development opportunities will benefit the surrounding communities and the larger metropolitan area. Approximately 200 acres are designated for the redevelopment of Office, Commercial, and/or Industrial uses adjacent to Interstate 35W, US Highway 10 and State Highway 96. 5. Integration - Transportation, governmental, educational and recreational services will be integrated with the adjacent communities where possible. Multiple and shared uses, buildings, and facilities will minimize infrastructure costs and impervious areas on the site. A joint maintenance facility is planned along the Highway 10 or 96 corridor. The City of Arden Hills will obtain and use the land south of the service road on the south side of Sunfish Lake to construct a City Hall and Civic Center area. 6. Infrastructure - The infrastructure system will be designed and constructed to minimize the negative effects on the environment, protect the East-West Corridor and the migration of animals between Rice Creek and the Park Preserve, and provide for the development requirements of the site. Stormwater retention ponds will be kept within the developed areas of the site, outside of designated open space. Developers will retain responsibility for locating these ponds within their own development areas. Existing on-site infrastructure will be reused to the extent that it is practical and cost-effective. Transportation for the site will be designed and built in a manner that is sensitive to the environment. It will include an internal system of roads that is transit mendly. The transportation plan will link TCAAP to the rest of Arden Hills and adjacent communities as well as to the regional transportation system. Trails will allow alternate travel modes, such as biking and walking, by linking activity centers. 7. Railroad right-of-way - The railroad right-of-way extending from TCAAP to Long Lake Regional Park will be preserved as a regional trail connection. Trails within TCAAP will connect this trail segment with the Rice Creek Regional Trail and the proposed park reserve. 8. Fiscal - Specific attention will be paid to the fiscal impact on the City of Arden Hills and the surrounding communities. Development will be managed to ensure, to the extent possible, that cost-generating uses are balanced with revenue-producing uses to minimize fiscal impacts. 9. Sustainability - The use and development of the TCAAP area should foster a balanced approach to community structure and function, environmental values, and economic opportunities and constraints.
